Okay, I'm making another character named Caedo and moving to Bismarck for a while. I have another Character named Nombly on Quetzalcoatl server.

Now I'm just wondering, what are the usuals on the following things for you server:

Raise tips?
Pler Payment?
Popular Ls's?
Whm/Rdm/Smn Population? <Ex Whm Myself>
Paladin Popularity?
Dark Knight Popularity?
Thief Popularity?
Fire/Wind Crystal stack costs?
People willing to pt past lvl 30 >.< <not many on quetz>

I'm looking forwards to chilling on this server with my gf, who will be returning to it after a long while away and being refound by some of her old LS members on quetz.

First off, Welcome!!

In all my time on Bismarck, I've never paid for a Raise... maybe just lucky... PLer's are generally frowned upon (at least by those that I know) although there are exceptions. As far as payment, I've seen it all.

Popular LS's... hmm prolly easier to list the infamous ones lol.

You wanna be snapped up quick in later levels go rdm or brd, although it's been said our whm population is on the decline.

PLD, DRK, THF all have their place, I'll leave that question to the folks that play those jobs.

Fire - 5K Wind 3.5K give of take a bit. Prices do fluctuate.

Being that Bismarck is one of the oldest servers there are ALOT of people post 50 which also means alot of people in the 20's and 30's working on subs. I'd say there is a good population for all level ranges and I have to say I do not recall ever having alot of trouble finding parties at any level. Then again, I'm a mage.

Anyways hope that helps. Again welcom to the server, hope you enjoy it!

Thank you. ^_^

Wow, PLers are frowned upon on your server? Some people get reknown across the quetz server for their Pl helping. I'll have to get used to that :p

I'm glad to hear that your Whm's do not ask for tips, In my experience as Whm, I have never asked for a tip myself, and are just happy with knowing that I helped out.

I'm sorry to hear that your Whm population is declining, We seem to have a bit of a fluctuation of Whm's on quetz every once in a while giving the lucky parties on at that time a major leveling opportunity.

And darn about the crystals, they're higher in Fire but lower on Wind. <Fire and wind going for about 4k a stack>.

I asked about the Pld, Drk, and Thf status because they seem to be the most highly played and most respected classes, with the exception of whm, on quetz server. I will personally be making an Elvaan Pld during my stay. (Caedo) ^_^

I'm also really glad to hear that there will be a fair amount of people at that lvl range, on quetz, we have roughly two parties on the whole server going on those lvl ranges at any given time, making it very hard to progress past Khazam and into the crawlers nest.

I look forward to playing here. I haven't made a new character since my very first and now that I that I know what I'm doing, I hope I wont make as many mistakes as my first run through.

Thank you for your help ^_^

Welcome to the server, I'd say Garan hit it on the head with your questions.

Depending on the XP changes I may bring the WHM out of retirement for a bit to see what it's like ^^

Welcome to Bismarck ^^- !

I'd just like to say that I think the PLing is flamed by a lot of people because PLed parties usually learn nothing, because they don't really have to stick to their job in order to make the party going well (especially the tanks and the supports). That's IMO, though I can't blame PLers because they're nice to help people (except they're asking a fee).

welcome to bismarck

i have some stories about PLing issue^^:
I like to help pling people whenever im not busy, but I experienced some bad things while PLing a party, such as whm in pt got spoiled on my curing to tank and other members, make him/her didnt aware of his PT's hp, which causing some death. Another thing is about blm nuking like no tomorrow that causing tanker dies easily while even Im the pler cant even help the crisis nor whm in party got aggro or ran out of MP on curing tanker.

Maybe these things happened to other PLer as well, or another thing that happened I dunno,this is what I experienced so far on PLing :D, I wouldnt mind on PLing but as some people arguing on how PLing can be spoiled low level player (in this term low level player with low experience on partying)hence give them lesser knowledge on what their role in party, I guess maybe they have the common reason as I stated, maybe XD.

Anyway enjoy your stay in Bismarck when you already create a char^^

Ok I understand your positions on PLing. I used to Pl only my LS members on Quetz and didn't do a very good job anyways lol.

IMO It's a lil hard to pl sometimes. I prefer to be in the party so I can see the exact amount of hp everyone has at all times, but seeing as I will be going for Either Pld/War or Drk/Thf, I won't be doing a lot of pling this round.

The only thing that sux; Is the update! I can't get on! >.<

sup sup, you raise a few good questions...

1. Raise tips.. Raise anybody you can find, people like it, but dont go too far out of your way to do it..

2. PLer Payment.. Well, we dont really like the PLer's just cause bottom line, it makes the parties lazy, and they dont know what to do when they recieve a PL.. God knows i have had my fair share of PLs pre level 10 and thats all fine and dandy, but dont waist your time doing it.. unless you get 60k per hour from the party you are helping out..

3. Popular LS's... dont know of any Popular ones.. i know that HN, {My Linkshell} welcomes new members if they dont leech from us, and have no problem gettng subjob items, or even Limit break quests done.

4. PLD popularity.. Pld are always good, good hate keepers, until the NIN start to take over with thier blink tanking, and sometimes you dont even need a PLD because some people have learned to use thier jobs as great tanks and what not.

5. WHM/RDM/SMN population.. All the high level characters of that nature have started to join all the HNMls's and stuff, but there are quite a few that have chosen the path of not going down that road and stuff.. i know i have like 2 high level RDM that have stuck with HM for a bit.. but do stuff with other LS to pass the time..

6. DRK Popularity. DRK are excellent DD, i have a friend that subs THF with DRK and does some pretty damn silly Damage, like 2k damage with one hit... just on the Orcs we find while farming Gold Orcmasks.. lol

7. Fire/wind Crystal prices.. Fire Crystal Stacks 5k.. Wind Crystal Stacks 2k i think.. not sure, i dont use Wind Crystals much, i mostly just farm or Garden my own crystals..

8. People willing to PT past 30.. I find that that is when i get the most Party invites.. alot of people are trying to get thier subs to 37, and some are thinging of new jobs to use as thier main..

So come check us out, we have alot of fun on this server, and i would be glad to have you join my LS and come up and stuff..


see you ingame!

Sounds like fun ^_^

I'm glad everyone is so helpful. I already got the worm on an escort from Sandy to Bastok, but I wouldn't mind a lil aid when it comes time to grab the Skull... I'm sure the apron will pop at one point while I'm getting to 18. On my original character I had two fair lvl'd jobs of an exact opposite nature: Thf and Whm. I had their subs to a high enough lvl, cuz you know what they say: "subjobs are like sex, If you don't have it at 20, people will laugh at you." On that note I'll be glad to just settle down on one specific class. I have my war at 7 and monk at 4 so far, but yea.. Gimme a wave if you see me, or a /wave, Names Caedo.
